One day, everything you do will be instantly known to everybody around you. I’m not just talking about when you have a new friend on Facebook, I mean absolutely everything you do. I imagine our toilets soon being monitored from afar, letting you know if somebody’s been using them while you aren’t home. They’ll also tell the global network how often you’ve been going yourself. Those days aren’t far off, with all sorts of new technologies doing exactly that.

One current hip implementation of this new fad is geotagging. If you haven’t jumped on that particular bandwagon yet, it’s a fairly simple explanation. You take a picture, and then you tell the world where you took said picture by tagging the picture with your location. It’s become a fun way of letting people know what you’re up to and where you have been, and it may be getting yet another boost soon, thanks to DXG and Geotate.

The two companies are teaming up to bring a video camera that automatically updates the geotagging information to your footage. The camera is a simple DXG HD handheld, built upon the previous DVH586. What sets it apart (the geotagging service) is a piece of software by Geotate labeled Yuma. If you’re a big fan of tagging the location of every photo and video you take, this might not be the end-all of your desires, but at least it gets the ball rolling. What they didn’t announce today was how much it will cost or when it will be released, but expect that information soon.
